DESCRIPTION:For Women's History Month in March Bard Graduate Center will\nh
ost an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to address the lack of\nentries
on wikipedia about contributions by women to the fields of decorative arts
\, architecture\, graphic design\,\ntextile design\, material culture stud
ies\, and anthropology. The\nevent\, which will take place on Saturday\, M
arch 17 from 1-4 pm in the Bard\nGraduate Center library\, is designed to
improve coverage of gender\,\nfeminism and the arts on Wikipedia. The edit
-a-thon will include tutorials\nfor the beginner Wikipedian\, ongoing edit
ing support\, reference materials\, and\nrefreshments. No prior wikipedia
experience required but we do\nencourage attendees to bring a laptop if po
ssible.\n\nIn a 2011 survey\, the\nWikimedia Foundation found that less th
an 10% of its contributors identify as\nwomen. This lack of inclusive part
icipation has led to an alarming gap of\ncontent in the world’s most popul
ar online research tool. Art+Feminism’s Edit-a-thons and other initiatives
\nmake an impact on the gender gap through crucial improvements to gender\
,\nfeminism and art related subjects on Wikipedia. From coffee shops and\n
community centers to the largest museums and universities in the world\,\n
Art+Feminism is a do-it-yourself and do-it-with-others campaign teaching p
eople\nof all gender identities and expressions to edit Wikipedia. Since 2
014\,\nArt+Feminism edit-a-thons have taken place across the world\, creat
ing and\nimproving over 11\,000 articles. \n\nLeading support for Public P
rograms at Bard Graduate Center comes from Gregory Soros and other generou
s donors.
